Elmer Fudd 1 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hi all, I was wondering if anybody could help me... i am looking for a .22 rimfire rifle for hunting. at the moment i own a cz 452 varmint with a 21inch barrel and although it is the most accurate thing in the world it is a bit long and cumbersome, especially with my moderator on the end. I am looking for another CZ this time with a 16inch barrel. Ive been looking at the silhouette with a synthetic stock just to give a bit more durability but the stock looks a bit short, as if made for a woman or child. if anybody has any suggestions, please leave a comment. all the best.

Elmer Fudd 1 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 how much would that cost me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry31 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 About 60 quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Bloody hell! It's going up every time I drop in on this thread!Mine cost 35 quid for the chop,re-crown and re-thread less than a year ago.Two mates were so impressed with mine they have both just had theirs done;a Finnfire and a CZ,price was still 35 quid each.Somebody is being ripped off! Try and find out who does your RFD's work(unless it's in house)and you will get it much cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedwards1966 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Have a shop round of course, but it's easy to pay that sort of money for it. I had to pay £75 for a threading job - and that was better than the £120 I'd been told it would be by somewhere else. The trouble is, it's not worth driving that far for a cheaper price if you find one. If I find a shop 30 miles away that does it for £30 less (which is the best saving your likely to find), after taking it there then picking it up again it's going to cost me about £40 in fuel! Getting it shortened is probably your best bet, that way you keep a rifle your happy with, save the hassle of buying/selling/variations etc and get the exact length you feel is best.

HDAV Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 60 miles £40 of fuel what do you drive a Sherman? There is of course the proof issue.... Or just buy a shorter barrel..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cockercas Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 And I use the same bloke fister dose and I would rather pay£85 and get a gun back without a ****** barrel. Re threading can be easily messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmer Fudd 1 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Even if i do get it cut down i would still want a synthetic stock and aftermarket ones come in at arount £400! Thats why i was looking at the 452 synthetic however that then means a **** load of paper work selling my shared gun just so i am able to buy a new one. It seems like i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 OR see what sort of P/X deal a local dealer will do you, that way its just waiting for the 1 for 1 to come back from the FLO.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Unless you bought used you will lose our massively in px. Get it chopped Yep.Have to agree.Unless the wood on your present model is exhibition grade(and therefore you don't want it too marked)I wouldn't be too worried about the durability of it.It will handle all manner of abuse unless you keep dropping it or something similar.These rifles were designed as work horses and are as tough as they come. Shop around for someone who comes recommended,and don't worry about the re-proof;it isn't necessary. There is a RFD near Carlisle who charges £70 for the chop,re-crown and re-thread of rifles,but a mate found out he doesn't do them in house,he sub's the work out.The bloke who does the work charges the dealer £35.Now I don't mind anyone making a profit,but DOUBLE the going rate?For doing what?Shop around,and get it chopped.I promise you wont regret it.
